7-Way Linux OS Comparison With KVM

A look at the systemd boot times for firing up the different VMs:

Clear Linux remains very aggressive with its boot performance that can be important in the VM/cloud space though in this round of KVM testing the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS user-space managed to boot faster.

Clear Linux was the fastest running Tensorflow on the CPU for the operating systems where this benchmark could be easily run.

Clear Linux in several rounds of our testing now has been offering measurably faster Redis performance.

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, openSUSE Leap 42.3, and Clear Linux were the front-runners in Python's PyBench.

Lastly in PHPBench, Clear Linux finished out the testing with another victory in this end-of-year 2017 Linux distribution testing under KVM.

For all the tests ran for this round of testing, Clear Linux 19780 finished in first for 26 of the benchmark runs followed by Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with six wins and then openSUSE Tumbleweed with four wins. While Ubuntu 16.04 LTS was the fastest in six of the benchmarks, it did have the most losses at 17 followed by CentOS 7 finishing in last for 11 tests and then Fedora Server 27 with four losses.
